about

I've always liked Margaret Mead's quote: "Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

A standout performance by Justin Meldel-Johnson (from Beck’s band) on bass.

lyrics

Let's begin with a fact.
Science tells us there's a pact
made between each action
and something that reacts.

Things that seem out of range
all obey a law of change.
Put thought into motion
and watch things rearrange.

Live the proof.
We can create our circumstance.
Live the proof.
Nothing is ever left to chance.
It's no dream,
we can create a world anew
here and now.
Live the proof.

Every thought left unsaid.
Every wish kept in your head.
Every other option
you’d rather see instead.
Lift them up,
set them free.
Go into the world you see
like it's already
the way that it should be.

You view the problem like you’re stuck inside it.
But what if you had power to rectify it?
Would you make the choices to apply it?
Would you try it?
